I just set up a Fortigate 60 running the latest of 2.80 at a clients
site, I set it up specifically for it's dual wan support and failover,
however it has defaulted to using the PPPoE DSL link, instead of the
static cable modem. Any documentation I can find about setting up load
balancing or failover on this box is limited to pretty much saying "the
PPPoE becomes the default route" and really not giving a guide on how
to go in and change the priority of the interface.

Ideally I would want it to accept all PPTP vpn traffic from remote
clients on the wan2 port, and move everything else over to the cable
modem on the wan1 port. Any pointers for guides or walk throughs would
be great, I have been combing through the Fortinet documentation, and I
haven't found a clear cut way of making a dafult route policy that
works (I am now off site, so I can't risk killing my connection to the
unit over the wan2 link either).

Thanks
-Chris

Make sure the default route you added for the other interface has the same
weight as the PPPoE default route (0) and then add policy routes (source
routes) for tcp and udp traffic out the other interface and for PPTP traffic
out the PPPoE interface. Policy routes take effect before static routes.
